Ms Jefferies told the BBC she was once asked to act out a scene with a male performer involving a sexual assault with no prior warning. “I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said.

Imagine taking a role where nobody tells you there’s anything sexual about it and showing up one day and someone’s like “alright time for the rape scene.”

“The what?“

“The rape scene, you’re character is going to be raped and we need you to mocap it with this guy. Suit up!"

Taking a job doesn’t entitle the studio to do whatever they want to you or have you do whatever they want. Standard guild actors will almost always have a nudity and sex clause in their contract. The same doesnt seem to be happening in the gaming industry for VAs and mocap actors, with studios hiding the degree of work behind NDAs to protect their projects and their asses.

I’m not sure what industry you’re in, but most jobs include standards of what is generally included and expected. You can find unscrupulous people in any industry who will do the jobs that others reject, but they are not the norms.

If you are in a contract and the terms suddenly change to include something unexpected and outside the standard expectations, don’t you want someone in a decision making position to speak up? That’s all that’s going on here, at least from a labor perspective.

Really? Because I will never feel comfortable acting as a rapist, especially if it wasn’t explained to me before actually taking the gig.

Do people not have right to feel uncomfortable?

Please just get therapy. Christ.

If you genuinely don’t see that as a problem, I’m concerned for the safety of women around you.

Most actors don’t like having to have sex with someone they barely know without anyone warning them beforehand or making sure they aren’t abused.
